THE EVOLUTIONARY CYCLE OF THE CRITERIA FOR EQUALITY

(priceless)

by Bill Joslin

1) LAW: Equality before the law, formed in the wake of costly rebellion where arbitrary, inconsistent, discretionary application of law bred resentment, encouraged retaliation and ultimately rebellion.

2) OPPORTUNITY: Equality of opportunity – as the welfare state rise and regulation became the staple of the state, upper middle classes pled for the state from interfering in opportunity (via statute and regulation)

3) OUTCOME: Equality of outcome – romantics, upset about a rising gentry aligned themselves with the underclass causes to “shame” the capitalist gentry. Faced with the reality that no one is equal, they pointed at unequal outcomes as an example of hypocrisy and encourages the state to “level the playing Feild”.

Leveling the Feild requires the state to develope special rights for the disadvantaged. This results in arbitrary, inconsistent and discretionary application of law….

Wash rinse repeat.
